I have the same problem here. None of your methods helped. It may be an important information that my Windows 10 is not a clean install, it's upgraded from Windows 8.1 by Windows Media Creation Tool.
You can check the edge freezing issue here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2vcg1k
Every time I open the link above, Edge freezes the content part of the browser.

Rajith - telling us to open an inPrivate page is not at all a fix to the problem. inPrivate is the same as incognito on Chrome. I actually want my browsing data and cookies to be saved, it is helpful when I need to find things that I cannot remember the name of.
The problem is with Edge itself, not whether it's inPrivate or normal. Please give us a more realistic answer. Please stop with the scripted, robotic answers that don't even acknowledge the problem.
I love Windows 10. Edge (aside from this problem) is an excellent browser. Issues will happen with a new release and that I can live with. What does frustrate me is this overly diplomatic approach Microsoft takes with issues where they refuse to acknowledge
fault and provide time wasting work-arounds.
Escalate this to the appropriate team and please communicate what is happening. Communication nine times our of ten will alleviate your customers concerns.

My computer is a new AMD A10, 64 bit Win 8.1, upgraded to Win 10. Edge is loading very quickly, then locking up on virtually any page with video, on almost every page in Facebook, and generally is performing poorly on almost anything but text pages. I cleared my cache several times, and tried running in InPrivate before even turning to the internet for solutions.
I've downloaded Chrome for now, but it would be nice to see MS fix this, as Edge looks like it could be a good idea when it finally works. Disappointing that with this many complaints this early, somebody hasn't suggested anything better than try InPrivate. As already noted, that can't be a real solution!
